About this Event

One year ago, governments from around the world joined Canada and the United Kingdom at COP23 for the launch of the Powering Past Coal Alliance. Since then, the Alliance has grown to 75 members—and momentum continues to build.

By joining the Alliance, governments and organizations have committed to taking one of the most impactful actions towards meeting the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement: phasing out unabated coal-fired electricity and transitioning to clean energy.

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Alliance’s launch, Canada and the United Kingdom are proud to host an event at COP24 “Accelerating the Global Coal Transition”.
